Thanks again everyone.... Annie what would you call the starchy carbs? I've been eating totally what I shouldn't in the sweet line lately, I know I've been silly but it was like I just craved sweetness and just needed to do it, to get it out my system.... it just went on for longer than it...

Hi, I do often put a handful of blackberries in with my porridge and have a 40g serving... but think I will start alternating between that and some protein.... I normally have Tesco's own make wholemeal bread as it seems to have the lowest carb content at 12.8 I believe. Is it the overall carbs...

Hi folks, Thanks you all very much for your interesting comments... for breakfast I've normally had porridge or wholemeal toast with low sugar jam because I enjoy it so much....eating cold meats, salad early in morning I must admit I don't think I can do that. The porridge I have isn't too bad...

Should BG be around 7 an hour after eating or is there a little leeway.... I read that it is when it goes above 7.7 it does the damage? :?:

Hi, I've been eating weetabix for breakfast now and again but occasionally I get IBS and weetabix doesn't go down too well at times. My doctor said I should try Oatabix... which I did and absolutely love but these sent my BG to 8.6 after an hour..... Is this okay? :?:

thank you for that... that's really useful...... I have normally done the test 2 hours after.... I have been pretty good in general and I think the highest was 7.2 after after a rich fresh coffee with some cream which is a rare treat but other times it has been around 5.8 two hours after... the...

Thanks for that info Hobs... i never knew they contained so much fibre...

Thanks Nigel..... you're right ... in moderation.... so probably approx 50 almonds covered in toffee wasn't the ideal thing.. just as well I left the last dozen in the jar. A lesson to be learned I thinks. :lol:

Thanks for that.... I think i'll try some of that next time I'm in Tesco's... on testing after eating certain foods... is it best to do it an hour or two hours after eating?

Hi everyone, it's been good reading all your posts on Christmas and what you can and can't eat and the different ideas people have... I too am a fairly recently diagnosed type 2 and the last week or two it has crossed my mind 'what on earth can I eat at Christmas'.... I didn't have a clue but I...

thanks everyone for all your help... i have learned a bit more which is always a bonus and I quite like the small pots of jelly, and thanks also pollyr.... I must admit I didn't know things like fruit and veg and lots of other stuff contained carbs... i just assumed it was things like rice...

Well this is the fourth day and I am still in a little pain from all the almond brittle...it's certainly something I won't do again.... unfortunately I don't feel i've had too much help re what I can and can't eat from the doctors/nurses so still finding my feet..... it's a lapse I don't think...

Hi, after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I have changed my lifestyle and way of eating for the last 3 months nearly and have managed to lose nearly a stone and a half... the other night... i don't know why but I felt I desparately needed something sweet.... I miss my odd sweet but...

Hi.. i've just become a new member....having been diagnosed type II within the last few weeks I have started to turn my life around and have been managing okay... but am becoming confused about carbs... I would like to know if it is the carb count per 100 grams I should be watching... or the...
